I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 662: Chapter 411: Thoughts_2

Even with the vast resources of Dance Tool Dao Academy, it is challenging to nurture so many magic artifacts.

Every now and then, Duanmu Longrong would lead the Talisman Master students to transform those magic artifacts whose spiritual power has become extremely weak, nearing the point of degradation, into talisman treasures.

However, even so, there are still many magic artifacts in the Treasure Trove that remain untouched and ultimately turn into scrap iron.

As a genius of the Talisman Department, Chen Mobai also heard about this.

However, in recent years, due to his Void Spirit Eye, he could accurately scrutinize the reality of the Device Nurturing Sphere, thus making the academy students more enthusiastic about using the device pieces.

Hence, Duanmu Longrong decided to postpone the time for making talisman treasures by two years due to the substantial consumption of the Device Nurturing Sphere.

...
After all, the Five-Transform Umbrella is only a Rank-1 talisman device. With the joint effort of Chen Mobai and Luan Jingsheng and the guiding principle of tackling the difficult before the easy, Tao Hua Evil was refined into it in half a month.

On the umbrella surface, initially filled with numerous spiritual patterns, there is now an additional image of peach blossoms falling.

When the umbrella is unfolded and spiritual power is infused, pink miasma begins to gush out.

The spreading miasma can cause cultivators to become dizzy and agitated, and if one stays in it for a long time, their energy can seriously decline and suffer significant damage to their elemental energy.

“You have worked hard,” Chen Mobai said. He is not an actual artifact refiner, so most of the detailed work had been done by Luan Jingsheng.

“It was a rare opportunity for hands-on practice, I should be the one thanking you,” Luan Jingsheng replied.

After upgrading the Five-Transformation Umbrella again, Luan Jingsheng gazed somewhat fondly at this artifact of his, seemingly reluctant to part with it.

“By the way, the quality of the Jade Talisman Paper we produced last year wasn’t up to scratch, and half of it was returned. Do you have any good suggestions?” Chen Mobai asked Luan Jingsheng about his Flying Sky Talisman Factory.

“The paper is Rank-2 after all. Director Pan is proficient in his craft, but he used to rely on Boss Wu for quality control. Suddenly entrusting him with such responsibility definitely requires a period of adjustment,” was Luan Jingsheng’s reply.

Chen Mobai remembered Pan Kaiqiang, the workshop director of the Flying Sky Talisman Factory, as a committed worker.

However, they still needed to recruit someone skilled in creating talisman paper and talisman ink.

Chen Mobai had initially intended to train Luan Jingsheng into a Rank-2 Talisman Maker, but he was set to graduate next year. If he fails in his Foundation Establishment, he will have to serve in the army as per the laws of the immortal sects.

Chen Mobai has no plans to nurture someone only to utilize them ten years later.

“Do you know anyone who could be referred to the company, for instance, a Rank-2 Talisman Maker from your institute?” Chen Mobai asked Luan Jingsheng again.

Luan Jingsheng indeed knew a few, but they were all already Chief Advisors in several Talisman Factories or had started their own businesses to earn Good Deed Points for Foundation Establishment resources.

Regarding the Foundation Establishment cultivators who are talisman makers in Cinnabarite Institute, they were all just like Chen Mobai and had started their own factories.

After bidding farewell to Luan Jingsheng, Chen Mobai remembered the Wood Spirit Talisman Shop owner he had interacted with previously. The shopkeeper was capable of refining Rank-2 Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talismans, implying he was a Rank-2 Talisman Maker. Chen Mobai wondered if he would be willing to give up his online shop business to work here.

Chen Mobai made an inquiry but was immediately rejected by the shopkeeper.

After all, the shopkeeper was also a boss and it was understandable that he did not like to be an employee.

Although regretful, Chen Mobai understood.

Back in his workshop, he took out the leather armor given by Luo Yixuan.

Sine his little disciple practiced Blackwater Cultivation, he decided to incorporate the Water Elemental Shield into its spiritual patterns.

First, he modeled it on the computer, then he applied the spiritual patterns of the transformed spells on the leather armor model. After confirming he could draw it completely, Chen Mobai simulated it twice more in his mind before finally taking out his Tian Shu Talisman Brush set to grind the ink and start drawing.

It was much simpler than upgrading the Five-Transformation Umbrella.

Sealing the Dark Water was a bit troublesome, but under his Rank-2 Talisman Maker skills, it was successfully formed.

Admiring the shiny, waving-like spiritual patterns on the leather armor, Chen Mobai nodded contentedly.

The power of this Water Elemental Shield had reached the peak of Rank-1. Even if encountering ordinary Rank-2 Technique Law, it could resist for a moment.

Given Chen Mobai’s attainment, it was not impossible to directly upgrade it to the Rank-2 level, especially considering the raw material of the leather armor was a Rank-2 beast’s skin, which could be used as Rank-2 Talisman Paper.

But once Luo Yixuan activated it, it would consume nearly fifty percent of her spiritual power, which would be a loss for her.

By keeping the Water Elemental Shield at Rank-1, Luo Yixuan, after practicing several times, could control it at will and the consumption of spiritual power was also minimal.

For Qi Practitioners, having more Rank-2 talismans was not necessarily better, one or two would suffice.

Even Chen Mobai had only one Rank-3 magic artifact.

After upgrading his two disciples’ magic artifacts, it was time for the New Year celebration.

At the warm New Year’s dinner, Chen Mobai presented the Five Metal Elemental Stones he had previously purchased at the Star Heaven Auction to his cousin, Wang Xinying. It was a belated gift for her admission into the Taiyuan Academy.

“Thank you, brother. You are so good to me!” exclaimed Wang Xinying, her face beautiful and skin white as jade. After receiving the Five Metal Elemental Stones from Chen Mobai, she played with them affectionately. Upon infusing it with her spiritual power, the artifact embryo began to transform according to her Divine Sense.
